\nLast week, during the Bengals and Raiders game, someone with a drone flew over (and inside) the stadium. The operator then went on to post the video on social media. It looks like the drone is only about 20-30 feet over the field during some parts of the video. https://dronexl.co/2022/01/17/illegal-drone-footage-bengals-football-game/
\nThis drone folds in flight to navigate through obstacles that would otherwise cause the drone to crash. Using the propeller\u2019s thrust and reverse thrust, the aircraft can fold up to two arms at a time to fix through smaller holes or into tighter places. These folded arms can also be used to pick up objects, such as a package. Pretty cool use of drones! https://newatlas.com/drones/midair-reconfigurable-quadcopter/
